Ditropan XL vs. Detrol

I am post radical prostatectomy and have both stress and urge incontinence. The urge component keeps getting me up several times at night. My urologist has suggested that I try Ditropan XL. The 1999 PDR does not list this drug, but it does list plain Ditropan. My pharmacist says that they are the same drug and the side effects should be about the same. My urologist says the side effects of Ditropan XL are less than those of plain Ditropan and about the same as Detrol. That's not much comfort, because the problems of cardiac arhythemia and gloucoma both concern me.
Is one drug better than the other in this regard?
Is there a better drug?
