Good question. No drug of the sort is mentioned in the original as far as I can remember, so it would have to be confirmed somehow in the new games that mech-augs always need Neuropozyne. That in itself is contradicted by the lore of HR and MD since Megan Reed's research makes the drug unnecessary. Considering that by the 2050s the majority of mech-augs are more or less directly under MJ12 control, who would have access to stuff like the Orchid, I would say from a purely in-universe perspective that it's likely the nupoz dependence would have been removed by Majestic 12. In a real-world sense I doubt we'll ever find out for sure unless we get a DX1 remake.
