I made a boo boo.. I might have used too much priming sugar 3/4 of a cup when I keg my imperial Russian stout.

That's ok- an overcarbed keg is pretty easy to fix. You just have to purge the keg a few times to release excess co2.
Don't worry about it. When you're ready to give it a try, if it's overly carbed, just put the keg on a venting regimen until you tame it down...

Just released the head pressure in the corny keg. Would 3 weeks be about time for carbonating with priming sugar?
Yes, that sound be fine.

How many times should I keep releasing the head pressure
I wouldn't do it until it's finished, and on tap and you see if it is actually overcarbed or not.

Just got my co2 filled tonight. I am going to hook it up tomorrow. If I already primed it with sugar do I need to put extra co2 pressure or can I leave itfor at 10psi for serving
If it's carbed up, you can just set it at the correct pressure. well, actually even if it's NOT carbed up, you can just set it at the correct pressure.
I'd suggest pulling the pressure relief valve when you hook it up, just in case the pressure inside is higher than your co2 pressure. It'll keep the beer from backing up into your gas lines and regulator.

Had about 3 beers from the keg. This beer is going down too smooth. Nice head. Not as bitter as I thought it would be. And its not over carbed with 3/4cup of priming sugar.
