Hi Folks,
Keep searching; I found the following on my first try:
Quote:
Adverse Effects
Adverse effects are usually mild and self- limiting.
Adverse effects from data on approximately 8,800 patients
participating in 144 controlled studies, open clinical trials,
and uncontrolled conditions, and by physician survey and
reasonably associated with the use of CES are dizziness
(6 cases, 0.07%), skin irritation/electrode burns (6 cases,
0.07%), and headaches (9 cases, 0.10%). Prolonged CES
treatment at currents higher than necessary may cause
dizziness or nausea that can last for hours to days.
Treatment immediately prior to going to sleep may cause
difficulty sleeping due to increased alertness. Paradoxical
reactions such as hyperexcited states, increased anxiety,
and sleep disturbances may occur in the initial stages of
treatment, but are rare.

A total of eight adverse events were
reported during the study. All were considered
mild and were as follows: local
pain as a result of stimulation of the device
(three), nausea (two), dizziness (one) and
local itch (two). Inconveniences with
wearing the P-Stim device included difficulty
sleeping on the side where the P-Stim
was applied (one) and inability to wash
one’s hair during the period the P-Stim
was worn (one).

There have been found to be no long term side effects of using Alpha-Stim. In a rare number of cases, short term side effects like dizziness or nausea may occur if the device is used for too long/on a too high current. In a study of 4,541 patients, the only adverse effects reported were dizziness (6 cases, 0.13%), skin irritation/electrode burns (5 cases, 0.11%), and headaches (9 cases, 0.20%).

These were all found on the first page of search hits, using the criteria adverse effects p-stim
Also, if you are experiencing adverse/side effects, there are places to report same: where to report adverse effects
Hope this helps,
Doc
