Can Lisinopril Or Clonidine Cause Kidney Stones?

I have had kidney stones for 6 months and finally got them all out and less than 1 month I have 2 more. The ones in my kidneys were the hardest to finally get out. I take blood pressure medicines, lisinopril and clonidine. Could these be causing the stones? I know it is of the oxylate ? kind.
