Woodchippers fixed the handlebar situation on my mountain bike. They may be a bit ugly, but after tweaking the position over a few rides are incredibly comfortable.
For the OP, if this is your first drop bar bike, it will probably take a bit of adjustment. I would pick a drop bar over a flat bar though.
