Can Metanx Be Substituted With Foltanx?

I have been taking metanx 2 x day. Is the Rx foltanx rf the same? When I was out of the metanx for approx. 3 wks I was starting to have problems w/ walking & movement. It took 1 wk of the metanx to get my movement controlled. I have chronic Lyme & a MTHFR issue. thank you for your time Jennifer Norton
