I didn't tell my Dr when I was reducing my temazepam dose until I got to 5mg for 2 weeks without a problem. then she changed script to 5.
With that I quartered then and slowly reduced, again without telling Dr.
I felt more in control as opposed to being made to do it as Dr giving me less.
It worked for a good while.
Until I relasped and the bad sleeping returned. I am now on a differant one but I quarter them and take between half and 3/4, it works for me.
Slowly is the only and best way.
As for diazepam, I've never become dependant, somehow I can stop start with them for short term once twice a day for a few days or even weeks and months then stop and apart from the anxiety being more felt and my sleep wasn't as good/deep, I am always Ok.
Just the sleepers I need to work on, slowly.
