Hi Tom,
My doc said the only way to deal with excess glutamate is to drown it out with inhibitory neurotransmitters like serotonin and gaba. So ssri's and benzos partially work on anxiety through doing that. Antipsychotics also supposedly have some anti-glutamate functions. Lamictal supposedly reduces glutamate release.
On the natural side, taurine is a good glutamate neutralizer. Magnesium is too.
