Liftmode Phenylpiracetam - Depression / Mild Gaming Perspective

Everything about the packing was great as others have mentioned.
I'm relatively new to using Nootropics, and so far I've found that this works great. I took one scoop's worth (is it 150mg?) a day, mixed with L-Theanine and a cup of coffee. Typically when I sit down and do work, my head gets bugged down by thoughts that eventually get me too angry to focus on anything I'm doing, and then depressed. This causes me to have about a 20% time efficiency, leading to anxiety when I can't get my work done on time. Sometimes it gets bad enough for me to have to wake up at 3am (1-4 hours of sleep a night).
When I took this stack I still had these thoughts, but I was able to catch myself and clear my head easier. Thus I was finally able to finish my work. With lessened anxiety (I don't know if this was more from the L-Theanine or from the Phenlylpiracetam), what typically takes me an hour (20 pages of a school book) took me 20 minutes.
I also play tetris friends (username: azndvn), and typically I max out at around 70 lines. However, on my third game I took my max up to 87 lines. I've done 4 games now with close to 90 lines, but never quite surpassing that.
Great experience so far.

So I looked in to this a bit more, because the scribd link you cited above said "injection of this drug (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) to rats increases the numbers of both nACh and NMDA receptors, but decreases serotonin and dopamine receptors in the brain tissue." I read the rest of the scribd paper, and their citation was a paper in Russian, which seems to be available at this link: http://medi.ru/Doc/310136.htm That paper (which seems to share some authors with the paper I found) actually found that dopamine D2 and D3 receptor densities increased (although only the D3 density increases were statistically significant) and dopamine D1 receptor densities decreased. So I guess there is no contradiction after all, and we can be somewhat confident that phenotropil increases D2 receptor densities in rat brains since 2 studies seem to have found that (although only 1 had it as a statistically significant result, though the authors note that "The absence of significant differences in the number of D2-receptors can be explained by the fact that you used as a D2-spiroperidol ligand also shows some affinity to D3-subpopulations and HT2-receptors, and therefore the total binding revealed no differences.", whatever the hell that means).

That makes sense. Too bad the D1 densities decreased, but that makes sense with the mechanisms.
