Is Clonazepam A Better Medication For Anxiety Than Lorazepam?

I was taking lorazepam for anxiety and I have a mvmnt disorder, I was put on clonazepam and I have taken it before and am again having bad side effects. My dr says its better, last longer, and does not want to go against other drs advice. I was doing fine on the old med and felt great; he claimed I should never have been on it in the first place. I saw clonazepam has a lllot of side effects. Which is really better and any advise on how to get my old med back?
