You should see a doctor about the problem if you have tried a few different deodorants and they aren't helping. Try switching to other brands before you give up though, including the few brands I've listed below.
Some people just naturally sweat more than others. It could be a hereditary condition called hyperhidrosis, but you'd have to see a doctor for that diagnosis.
Obviously, they now have the prescription strength over-the-counter formulas out there for women since you have tried the Secret brand. Secret Clinical Strength and Certain Dri are both specifically made for this type of problem. You should check both of them out and follow the directions on using them (if you haven't) as I believe they have different application instructions than other deodorants.
Here is also a good link on some tips on controlling the sweat in the meantime:

It does add this that you may want to consider:
"If you perspire even when you're relaxed and the temperature is cool, see your doctor [as] it could be a sign of an underlying health problem."
So please consider that and make a doctor's appointment right away to get checked out and make sure everything is alright. A doctor will definately be able to help you with your problem.

...has this tip:
"Use an antiperspirant with aluminum chloride, which blocks pores to inhibit the release of sweat. Try the new Soft & Dri DermaStripe..."
I wish you luck on finding a good method to controlling your perspiration.

Hey, I had the exact same problem, started 7th grade. It's really not so serious at all. Just get a prescription stuff. I have some and it works. Very easy to get, just ask your regular doctor. Mine I only need to use 2 times a week. I just put it on at night and then wash it off in the morning. Easy. And I've been good since. But yeah, I went through like a year either wearing cami's or big sweaters. It sucks, i get ya. But yeah, you most likely do not need surgery or anything serious. Just get some prescription stuff and you should be set.

my brother had a surgery done. and my best friend has that problem too. you should try everything possible before surgery though. my brother only did it because he has had sweaty hands, feet and underarms since he was born and it got annoying. the only side effect was that his back sweats more then usuall now. he said its worth it tho.

You should go talk to your docter. It sounds like you have overactive sweat glands. They can give you some medicine I believe that will help with that and then all should be good. Don't worry too much, as far as I know it's actually a common thing and getting more so with each generation.
