Advice on microdosing

Hello everyone. 

I´ve had the bag of iboga for a couple of months or so and i´ve been putting off the microdosing for various reasons. 
But i´ve taken it 4 days now. 
First day 300mg
2nd 450mg
3rd 500mg
4th 750 mg

I upped the dose because i dont really know if there´s been any effects. There may have been some subtle ones, but im pretty absent-minded at times and have difficulties connecting the dots between what causes this that and the third. 
I wanted to microdose because i wanted to try and get a better sense of whether or not a flood would be right for me. I know people talk about the calling to iboga, and lets put it like this, i dont even know where to begin listening. But i havent heard anything so to speak. 
I´ve been fighting my own battles, i was a hardcore porn addict but i´ve been in total celibacy for 3,5 months (yes, im a guy.) so there´s that to consider, meaning nothing is normal these days. I wanted this out of the way before a flood so i could figure out more underlying causes. 
So thats done, but the question remains. 

Not much effects thus far. I´ve taken it late in the evening so ive had some troubles falling asleep. Thats my own fault. 
I´ve noticed a had something of an epiphany last night, a realization that may or may not have come regardless of the iboga. I´ll call it a positive reframe of something that´s been difficult. 
Moodwise, perhaps somewhat better. Very slight. But difficult to judge these days. 
I do trust the source. 

With all that said, i´d like some advice on how to continue the dosing. I will MD for 10 days tops. Probably i´ll stop at 8 or 9 days because i´ll grab a few beers next weekend and the alcohol wont merge well with the medicine. 
Should i stick to 750mg and see what happens or is up to 1 gram safe?
And on the very difficult subject of figuring out the calling, any wisdom? I´ve been trying meditation for the longest, but my internal dialogue is my greatest enemy and easily overwhelms basic meditational practices.

yes, @least until you notice it. Then (if you wish/no set rules or dogmas) stick with the bare minimum once you feel it (more for beginners). It can really twerk people out (newcomers) when they take too much for too many days. Try to keep it to no more than 14 days for starters once you reach your point of reference.

Figuring out the calling is a tough question to answer as its person specific. You don't have to see a blinding white light in order to feel like you've been called - just try not to over think it. As for the meditation - keep at it. Most people when they first try meditation feel like they are useless at it for the exact reason you stated but actually that means that it is working! You are actually noticing the endless internal chatter and dialogue - you are being mindful of it and you're shocked to see how incessant it is - just keep noticing that. Meditation is not about blissing out for a hour while sitting in a lotus position, it is simply observing what arises and falls away. When you first start meditating, the chatter which is usually like background noise suddenly gets the volume turned up to 10 because you're not being distracted by anything else so it feels like you're doing it even more.
