Restore the backup you made before upgrading, or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks, your third party apps and personal data from scratch. You can't just install Mavericks over Yosemite.

Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.

Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite

Revert Yosemite to Mavericks

If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.
