Two ideas from me.
Check that the rear derailleur setup isn't completely screwed up. I had the same problem when I was playing around with the barrel adjuster and completely messed it up. After a little more adjustments the shifter started to work properly again.
If that doesn't work, most likely your shifter is kaput. That happened to my 8 speed earlier this summer. E-bay has some 8 speed coming up every now and then, or you can try to find a used bicycle parts dealer (that's what I did), or buy a new lesser grade component if you can find one. 8-speed is old technology, so bike stores don't have replacement parts sitting around.
