It sounds like you have over gased the keg and yes it can be rescued. When the head settles down you will get some beer but my guess is it would be almost flat.
To fix:
release the pressure valve to get out all the gas then shake the crap out of it. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes (get a towel in case you need to clean things up) and repeat. This could take some time, even a day or so.
It is far easier to get it right the first time rather than fix the problem later. My first 2 kegs I over carbed them and it was a pain to get them right considering I was on a timeframe to have them ready.
