To sweat or not to sweat?

I have had trouble with underarm sweating for years. It feels like im the only one in the world who gets those embarrasing stains under my arms. I cant even wear the clothes i want! Is there a way to stop (or reduce) sweating without surgery? ive heard baking soda helps but i tried that and it stung really badly. i want to take control of my life, please help!!
