Anti-perspirant (NOT deorderant). There's a difference. Anti-perspirant helps close the pores so you don't sweat as much (and no, it doesn't cause cancer), deoderant only covers up the smell. Try using aerosole spray instead of sticks or gels (just make sure it doesn't contain CFCs that pollute the ozone layer), they typically work much better.
If it's really that bad, you probably should see a doctor. There's botox-like shots that help close the pores a little so not as much sweat comes out.
Sweating is just your body's natural cooling-system, so try turning your AC up a couple degrees or wearing lighter fabrics like cotton that allow your skin to breath moreso than man-made fabrics like Polyester.
Just don't stress or anything. It's completely normal :-)

You may have hyperhidrosis as i do, which is extreme sweating of armpits, hand palms, feet or face. I never went to the doctor, i just did research on the net which led me to a product that has worked wonders for me. I don't know what its called in america but just go to the pharmacy and ask for aluminum chloride for hyperhidrosis. Its like a deodarant stick and you apply it once a week and it works wonders.

I heard of people going so far as to get botox in that area to keep from sweating, but thats in really extreme cases and you would have to see a doctor for that. A friend of mine swears by Certain-dry
