Possibly. Glutamate release is really the end stage of a number of possible upstream causes of neuronal hyperactivity.

SSRI's do not necessarily display consistent glutamate reducing activity. They can increase glutamate function in certain situations. Fluoxetine, for instance, has an inhibitory effect on glutamate reuptake.
