This is much simpler than others are letting on... used to be more complicated but mainly because of the cost for drop bar shift levers and availability of new 7 or 8 speed.
Now you can get a reasonably priced pair of Microshift levers that can match your existing Shimano derailleurs. If those don't happen to be Shimano, they would be cheap to replace as well.
I am going to assume you have a Shimano 3x7 setup. This should be all you need. I am not sure if cables come with the shifters so you may need those too. edit: I added the adapters you'll need to use your existing brakes with drop bar levers.
