Hi,
I have been on Klonopin as well since 97 and have been through over 10 anti-depressants (currently starting parnate) but klonopin was the only thing that has allowed me to get through life since then. Even childbirth! And yes, I was allowed to take it during pregnancy, my son was not addicted, and is very healthy. I too have had to use more at certain times, especially while changing meds, but I have always been able to return to an as needed dose of up to 2 mg a day.
My doctors said if you weigh the negatives against the positives, there is no need to stop taking it. THere is no significant scientifically evidence that it is physically harmful to your body, according to my psychiatrist. So, I would not worry about using it, unless you find that you keep needing more and build up a tolerance, but from reading here, and my own personal experiences, the chances of that are unlikely,
all the best, good luck..
