Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Spiriva

I switched from Advair Diskus 250/50 to Spiriva Handihaler two months ago. Now I am having side effects, which include palpitations when sleeping, dry mouth, constipation. Is it safe to switch back to Advair Diskus? Do I have to taper Spiriva down or switch to Advair right away? I did not have any symptoms with Advair in the past.
