Hi chiaratara,
I went thru 2 terrible years of excessive sweating (from Nardil) and tried many things to alleviate it. The best med seemed to be Robinul, a particular anticholinergic. It worked better than the others mentioned for sweating and had the least annoying side effects, such as dry mouth. Also, you can get a prescription for a topical solution called Xerac AC, which you slather on the sweaty areas, and which lasts up to four hours or so.
Good luck with this -- I know how awful it is. And remember to drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated and feel awful!
