Drysol is amazing. It's made for people who sweat more than most people. It's a little pricey, but works like a charm.

You could try natural home remedies found on Frugal Living.
I recommend and use many of the Vinegar remedies.

Naturally Frugal Personal Odor Remedies
Underarm Deodorants
Various juices are touted to be deodorizing and, as far as I know, are safe for underarm use. The two that are most common are turnip juice and radish juice. Dab it on with cotton balls or dampen a cloth with it to wipe on. You can make your own juices with a blender, or simply chop the vegetable very finely. Any moisture from this is the "juice," which you can dab up with a cloth or cotton ball.
Apple cider vinegar, which in reality is another juice, although fermented, will get rid of underarm odor effectivley and has a lasting effect, due to its antibacterial properties. Yes, you might smell like a salad for a little bit, but no, the vinegar odor won't last past a few minutes.
Witch hazel is another natural, safe and somewhat effective remedy. It works better for some people than others, so it's worth trying. Again, just dab it on with a cotton ball or piece of cloth. (Frugal note: A piece of cloth is washable and reuseable. A cotton ball is not.)
Baking soda works very well, but it's tricky to get in the right place and keep it there! Readers of the Baking Soda - Personal page sent in remedies for that.
Try white vinegar on underarms and other areas of the body as a natural deodorant. Will not stop perspiration (which is not healthy anyway) but will neutralize odor.

Check the label to make sure your choice says "antiperspirant/deodorant" on it. That will help. But there are many brands, some more costly, all of them work well. Just pick a scent that you like.

If you've been using the same deodorant for a long time, try changing to a different brand.

Stress can make you sweat more than usual. Change deodorant to something like Drysol and if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor. If it is stress related, he can prescribe something to help. Also, get plenty of rest.

you can remove all order by eating blue green algae capsules, it will give you energy, vitamins and filter all toxins out so you will not smell at all. it is awesome!! you dont really have to even use deoderant after a few weeks of using it, it is probably hormones or toxins in your system causing the smell.

Gillete. Scrub Really hard under your armpits until they start to hurt a bit.

Depending upon how strong it gets, you can also ask your doctor for a prescription remedy. If it reaches that level, ask your doctor about endocrine disorders.
