Drop bars on a Mt bike?

I have had had almost no luck in making my converted Mt bike commuter as comfortable on the hands as my road bike. This is the second bike I have owned with flat bars and bar ends, and I think I would like to convert to drop bars.

Is this just more trouble than it is worth? Can I use the rapid fire shifters with road bars? I can't use down tube shifters, bar end shifters wouldn't bother me but how would I use the brake levers?

I love the old bike. I have tried moving the saddle fore and aft some and moving the bars up and down. Some moves help and others make the situation worse.

Any suggestions will be helpfull.:confused:
