Best deodorant
I wear button downs day in day out. I cycle through about 8 or so.

I sweat like crazy no matter what deodorants I use (so far: Speed Stick, Irish Spring, Old Spice.)

Is there a good and easy solution to this or a secret deodorant that I don't know of? I don't have the time to visit my doctor for a prescription deodorant.

I sweat a lot too. It's a natural response of a living organism. The only way to sweat less is to either move less, or cool down more. Try wearing shorts with sandals, it usually helps a lot.

Perspiration is nature's way of cooling the body. Heat is taken away as the water evaporates.

As the perspiration dries, the dark coloration on your clothing will go away. Unfortunately, the salt in your perspiration will have an effect on the cloth.

Still, the perspiration has minimal odour itself, compared to the odour resulting from breakdown from the bacteria on your skin. In other words, if you're dirty, your sweat will stink worse.

Bottom line: For least offense, keep yourself clean, and cycle on!

Make sure you look on the deodorant (on the front) for "Antiperspirant". Even within the same brand some will be Antiperspirant and some wont be. Most wont be. Even then it will be dry pits and soaked whatever else. But it helps.
