It depends on the severity of the hypomanic or manic *episode* you are trying to treat. If it is a full blown mania, it isn't uncommon to work up to 1500mg/day fairly quickly (over a few days). If it is a hypomanic episode I've found that 500mg/day works fine to quash it. I have never needed more than 250mg/day as a general maintenance dose (for BP-II).
