About twice a year I sweat badly on my hands and feet so much so that my keyboard it wet when I type and I sqish in my shoes. It is horrible and the 3 different doctors I have talked to about it blow me off. I use clinical deodorant on my hands and feet during those times and try to not have to shake hands with anyone. I also pray everyday that it will stop.
I was sweating due to anxiety and none of the over-the-counter deodorents were working for me. I wasn't sweating when exercising, etc. though. I got a prescription for something called "Dry-Sol" (or "Hypersol") and it works wonderfully. It burned like a mf'er for the first two weeks, but stick with it. It's so worth it.
This isn't what you asked, but since it's related, I just have to do a shout-out for unscented deodorant and antiperspirant. Your own scents can mix with whatever fragrance they put in the scented varieties, and the result can be awful.

Ditto this - this is an actual prescription deodorant. don't get blown off by a doctor - just ask directly for the prescription - i've never been declined when i've asked for it. If you aren't seeing a doctor soon, then Certain Dry works as well - it is basically the same product - but a lower strength. They will both fix the problem quickly.
