Have you tried that clinical strength Secret? Other than Botox shots this is all I can think of.

I had it pretty bad too in high school. It was terrible, so I went to a dermatologist, and they said there is an over the counter rub on, and you put it on at night, and wash it off in the morning. You don't sweat for a few days, and you use it as needed. You can get it at any local pharmacy and it's not that expensive. I think it was 24 dollars for a bottle, and I've had it for a couple years. It's pretty effective.

Although It needs confirmation the condition is medically called hyperhidrosis.

Here is the treatments step by step approach:
-first try substances containing aluminium chloride (over the counter). It is not permanent, but blocks the pores and blocks sweating for a few hours to days.
-if ineffective ionophoresis (in doctors office)
-if ineffective anticholinergic medication (prescribed by doctor)
-Botulinum toxin and surgery are second line treatments if the above is not effective.
