I have a problem which is becoming more annoying than anything. I sweat for no apparant reason. I can be walking around and my armpits are literally dripping wet with sweat. I've felt it dripping down my side. It's just beginning to be a big nusenice than anything else, because if i wear a gray shirt, I have to wear an undershirt and I usually just wear a "wife beater" as an undershirt. I'm not a huge guy im about 6'1'' 225, is there anything I can take or do to stop the sweating? I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

I don't know where you are from but there is a product called drysol that i have used it works fatastic esp. for underarms. You use it at night for a few days and litterally no sweat. It stings a little at first and will feel wierd but that goes away the more you use it. You can get in any drugstore where anti-perspirants and deodorants are sold. It's is aluminum chloride hexahydrate 20%w/v in anhydrous ethanol (i don't know what that means but that's what is says on the container) just in case you need to find it under a different brand name. Good luck!

I am a big time sweater too. I used to have to regularly replace my wifebeaters because of the disgusting pitstains they'd get. I bought some of the Reebok shirts that are a Spandex/Lycra fabric I think. They are the ones you see the athletes wearing on the commercials. Nike makes them too. I've found it breathes much better than wifebeaters or tshirts. They are form fitting so they feel very tight at first, but won't bunch, make you look overly bulky, and keeps your skin cool and breathing.
