A close friend took an SSRI, citalopram, for a year in his early twenties and he got that too. It wasn't permanent, though ("full") recovery took almost a decade! Keeping in mind varying-milage and a sample size of one, he's vaguely suggested that his recovery was speeded by working out muscles in his hips. Perhaps a combination of our Western sedentary lifestyle, our proclivity to sit in computer chairs all day, and the effect of the SSRI? Far be it from me to dispense medical advice, but working to open one's hips and doing some squats probably can't hurt, even if it doesn't actively help.
